Manager Pay Approval Guide
PAY APPROVAL OVERVIEW
The purpose of pay approvals is to verify an employee’s time is correct for a given pay period. It gives managers an opportunity to complete a final review of time and attendance for the pay period. The pay approval process is in addition to the current daily time authorization process. Timesheets should still be authorized and corrected daily.
The pay approval process follows a defined timeline with set deadlines as listed below:
• Managers review, correct, and authorize punches daily in Dayforce Timesheets.
• Reminder messages are sent through Dayforce when the pay period is approaching. Additional reminders are sent when pay has not been approved for the pay period.
• Employee changes are submitted and approved by 11:59 p.m. EST the Saturday before the pay period ends.
• Sunday, the last day of the pay period, managers finalize Timesheets for the pay period and approve payroll using the Pay Approve Checklist.
• Payroll closes at 11:00 a.m. MST the Monday following the end of the pay period.
• Changes made to time data after payroll is closed are processed as retroactive pay the following pay period.
